Senator Reagan has created some
thing of a sensation in Texas by COM

adds:

The Commerce aud Railways of
Vermont.

The following burlesque on Yer
mont is the invention of the Chicago
Daily Nelos, and is quite amusing.
There is one thing prominent that the
paper failed to notice in its review,
and that is that the water in this state
knows enough To run down hill which
is not the case in Chicago. The
Ne,os says: 1.-The Vermont papers
will agree that Col. Aldace Walker is
the best man in the state for the in
terstate commerce commission. This
may be true; at the same time, how
ever, we fail to see what interest Yer
mont can possibly take in interstate
commerce. She has no commerce Of
her own, and she probably never will
have. There is the bobbin factory at
Williamsville and melodeon factory
at Brattieboro, but the commerce re-
sulting from these is not worthy of
mention. There is talk about the ma
pie sugar that Vermont exports but
we have noticed that all the .sgenuine
Vermont maple sugar" in the western
market comes from the South, and is
about as succplent as the heel of a
gum boot. In all the state of Yer
mont there is but one railroad, the
Vermont Central it begins at CIRCUITS
Corner, Mass, and runs in bee line

| No less than ID persons have been
burned to death BY the prairie fires,
which starting near Nicodemus, Ora
| ham county. have swept northwest
on an air line into Norton county, de-
stroylng everything in a path that in
| places is from 21a to Z miles wide
a great roaring sea Of flame rolling
| in tremendous sheets under the impe-
tus Of the high wind which prevailed
| Saturday and Saturday night, April
| 9Th.
Thousands of head of stock of all
kinds have been burned, and thous-
ands of tons of hay, corn and wheat,
and from 100 to 175 houses and barns
have been destroyed. The people
living along the line of the fire have
been left homeless and destitute. 1t
is impossible as vet to learn the names
of those who persisted in the flames.
Tremendous excitement prevails all
through the burned district, which ex-
tends a distance of over 60 miles in
length by two and a half to seven in
width. with the fire still spreading
west and northwest. A large num-
bes of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
have been destroyed.
Accounts of the working of the new
law permitting women to vote in Kan
sas, vary according to the attitude of
prejudice to the observer, in regard
to woman suffrage. In some places
the women did not vote in sufficient
number to affect results. In others
the consequences were not such as to
give high idea of the value of wo-
man suffrage. In Wichita One-third
of the women registered are said to
have given their occupation as
sssports," and they voted solidly for
the labor candidate, who was elected
mayor of that city. The most excit-
ed contest took place in Leavenworth,
where extraordinary bitterness was
given to the canvass by the reported
saving of feminine temperance or
ganizer from Indiana that the more
exclusive social set of the city was
''reeking with corruption" She de-
MED making the remark but the
members of the "set' nevertheless
determined to defeat the ticket which
was supported by the Woman s
Temperance Union. They accor-
dinghy rallied all the votes they could
command for the democratic ticket
and succeeded in electing it. There,
and elsewhere, according to various
reports, more neighborhood quarrels,
ISLANDERS and hatred were stirred up
among the women, by their entrance
into politics than were ever known
among the men. Probably it would
not be quite fair to predict the final
outcome of the experiment from the
first trial in that state; but it GER
tainlv cannot be regarded by any
one as settling the question on the
side of the extension of the franchise

Every Northern state is republican
beyond a question, when democratic
maiorities in a few large cities are
neutralized. Outside of New York
and Brooklyn, this state is republican
by 10000 or more; outside of Hud-
son county, New Jersey was repub-
lican at the last election; outside of
New Haven and Hartford, Connect
cut gives a sure republican plurality,
and outside of Boston's 5000, Mass
achusetts is never in doubt; Ohio
has never been in dispute except for
the vote of a few cities. Indianapolis
has been the one point of danger to
the republicans in Indiana, Detroit
in Michigan, and Chicago in Illinois.
The farming districts and small man
ufacturing towns throughout the
country as a rule give republican ma
jorities. If a Trades-U Mon party de
strovs democratic ascendancy in
few great cities, it destroys the dem
ocratic party in northern states.
The Trades-U Mon leaders hope to
extend their party organization to the
rural districts. They reason that
they can compel the democratic party
organization to get out of their way
defeated in the cities, it is helpless
everywhere at the North, and may as
well go into liquidation. Then its
leaders will transfer votes to the
Trades-Union organization, as they
tried to do in Cincinnati and Chicago,
the Trades Unionist calculates. SO
far they are not much mistaken. But
when they go into the rural districts,
there they find no democratic vote
that can be transferred. There the
democratic farmers are not to be used
as catspaws, and will support q re-
publican rather than a Trades-U Mon
ticket. Break the democratic party
in northern cities, and republican
Inajorities IN all the northern states
will be sistible,-Iri5uHe,

Russians Think War Inevitable.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 1S.-It is semi
officially stated that in Russian Gov
ernment circles the conviction is gain
ing ground that war between France and
Germany is inevitable. In addition it is said
that, as fresh defeat of France might
involve disastrous results to Russia, the
Cars Government will, in the event of
war, preserve entire liberty of action. 1t
will not support France as an ally, but may,
by firm, reserved attitude, prevent Ger
many from sending the whole Of her army
west Of the Rhine, and, even if France
should be defeated, attenuate as much as
possible the effects Of the disaster. For
these reasons, it is declared, Russia will
await the outcome of the different phases
of the Bulgarian crisis with the greatest
calmness, and act in such way as to avoid
being involved with Austria or England
at the moment when France and Germany
commence hostilities.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 16.-The limited ex-
press on the Panhandle road was dashing
along its course at . very high rate Of
speed at two O'Clock this morning when
the porter on the st. Louis sleeping-car
was suddenly startled by the crash Of
glass. He hurried forward to the first sec
ton, from whence the noise seemed TO have
come, and which was occupied by . young
man en- route to Washington, d. q. The
porter hastily pulled aside the curtains,
when he was horrified by the sight that
met his gaze. The glass of large
double window had been broken
and the pieces were scattered around the
section. A mans head, arms and shoul-
ders had disappeared through the broken
window, while his legs and feet still re-
mained within the car. The speed of the
train was 50 great that the cars swayed
from side to side, and each moment there
was danger Of the man slipping through
the window and being hurled to the
ground. Instantly the porter realized
the danger Of the young man, and, grab
bing him by the feet, finally succeeded in
getting him back into the berth. By this
time the conductor, who had been called by
the porter, and several Of the passengers
had hurried to the berth to learn what had
caused the excitement. The young man
seemed dazed at first Is though he were
but partially awake, but gradually he
realized his situation and shuddered as he
learned what narrow escape from death
he had. He arose and dressed himself.
He then walked back to the rear
Of the car and told the porter that he
would never forget what had been done for
him, as his life had beef saved by his time
ly arrival He said that his name was c. F.
King, and that he was en- route to Wash
ington, d. e. He was returning from an ex-
tended trip in the West, where he had gone
for his health. Yesterday afternoon he had
eaten unusually heartily while travelling in
the buffet car. After he had retired to his
berth for the night he fell into restless
sleep and finally had An attack Of the
nightmare. He dreamed that the sleeping
car was on fire. The rumbling noise Of the
moving train gave him the impression that
the passengers were hurrying to and fro
trying to escape from the car. While still
asleep it is supposed that he made dash
toward the window and tried to plunge
through head first.

FAIRLY sHRruKrNo,

CanaAa Flooded with American Gold
Sensational Charges Made BY Sir John
Mschonald's Organ.
ToRoNro, Oxr, Feb. 17.-The charges
against the Reform party Of Canada Of re-
ceiving thousands Of dollars from Ameri-
cans TO buy up the country and defeat Sir
John Macdonald's Government is repeated
here by the Standard, Sir Johns organ.
The substance Of the charges made Is a.
follows: That the sum Of $4,000 was
received from the iron men in Pittsburgh,
Pa, by the Toronto financial agents Of the
Reform party over ten days ago; that
more money from the same place for the
same purpose is now on its way to Toronto;
that the American money sent to Montreal
to defeat Sir John had fallen into the hands
of Conservatives; that Nova Scotia is be-
ing flooded with American money for the
same purpose, and that 1900 had been
subscribed to the Reform campaign fund
to defeat the Conservative Government
and destroy the National policy BY Disston
Il Sons, sawmakers, of Philadelphia, q firm
which once nearly controlled the Canadian
trade in their class Of goods. The Standard
says to Canadians: You have
not only to face the rapacious horde
Of reformers, Rielites, repealers, seces.
sionists, annexstionists and rebels at home,
but you have to contend against the gold
Of Michigan lumbermen, Of Pennsylvania
iron men, Of New York and Massachusetts,
cotton men and Of New England fisher
men. Sir John Macdonald arrived here
yesterday afternoon from Ottawa. He
denies having instigated the publishers
of the Standard to publish the scandal.
He says he has no personal knowledge Of
the truth Of the report. He supposes the
facts were obtained in the ordinary way
of gathering campaign news. Sir
John said: "Look at the American
press generally. They say they wish my
Government was at an end. They say il the
Reform party comes in we will have
satisfactory settlement of the fishery
question. In other words, they believe
they know that our sacred treaty rights
guaranteed by England, bought from
the United States for price will be salts
fed and handed over to them. The Naii
says the Liberals have large sums OF
money at their disposal, which have been
subscribed for corrupt purposes by per-
sons who will profit by Reform victory.

Shower Of Mud,

LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 1s.-A strange phe-
nomenon occurred in this section yester-
day afternoon, the country being treated
to veritable shower of mud. The mud
came down in small particles and gave
every thing the appearance Of having been
splashed by teams crossing the streets. A
strong wind storm prevailed 200 miles
west Of here yesterday, and the theory is
that the dust raised by this storm floated
over this section and was finally precipi-
tated by becoming saturated. A light
shower prevailed at the time.
